I would love to know where you get the pine sap and how much you use.I have a great many of the pesky things and wonder if your recipe harms surrounding skin. Is it possible. to treat an area of skin at once. I am quite desperate if anyone else has any ideas. Thank you everybody, this is a great site which I have only just found.

Hello Rene (U.K.),

Apart from other topical things you might consider trying, I would recommend starting something that works for me. Namely, a daily, high --quality, multi-vitamin and mineral pill which contains a decent amount of Selenium.

It will take several weeks to deliver improvement of course.

Best of luck with this.

Would be nice if you kept us informed of progress, please.

Cheers from Down Under

I read that too much selenium can cause severe problems, I.e. breathing, etc. I have been eating two Brazil nuts every day. What dosage are you taking?

Replied by Denise from California on 03/14/2022

Note about selenium... Brazil nuts have 544 micrograms per ounce... I think way more than anything else. Dr. Berg says Brazil nuts need to be soaked or roasted so that absorption of selenium is not blocked by phytates. If they're soaked it preserves other nutrients in the nuts. However if soaking makes them hard to digest ( like it does for me) you could bake at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes in a preheated oven.

Best wishes!

Hello all, Rene here. It is a long time since I last visited this site and I have tried many things for my Seborrheic keratosis, I have hundreds of the things, down my back down my front. The tops of my arms and now in my hair line and in front of my ears. Treating so many is not easy and I have always felt that there must be something going on internally to cause so many. I have been reading about Urotherapy and it took a lot of thought but I decided to have a go. I have been putting a teaspoon of my own urine under my tongue morning and night. Unfortunately my lower legs have broken out in itchy sores but I am taking this as a sign that something is being cleared from my system. If this doesn’t work I don’t know where to go next…..it has got to work. Doctors don’t realise how much it affect your life. I will keep in touch and let you know how I go on.I would be grateful if you will keep me in your thoughts. I need you.

Hi Irene,

Drinking your urine is a very good start, continue it..You should wash your body with facecloth at bedtime. Dr.Lenard Coldwell is the best natural healer I ever come across. He is on youtube. One of his videos he said that #1 skin fixer is Hemp Oil.

I wish you the best

Gary

Thanks Gary, I will certainly look up Doctor Caldwell. I am sticking with the uropathy and my legs are improving. I really feel that there must be something wrong inside for there to be so many keratosis and I have read that uropathy heals everything. I am trusting that this will work.

to your good health. Rene.

Hello Gary, I would love to say that the urology treatment was going well but unfortunately I can’t. My legs have cleared up but I am quite ill at the moment after collapsing while out shopping. Please see my other posting. I had very bad pain in my back and front…never known such agony. I now have lots of pain in my left side and don’t know where to go from here. I had to give up on my urology because I don’t know whether that was the cause of the problem. I have had another bout of pain since which lasts for hours and I am too scared to make things worse. I am very disappointed because I thought that the urology was going to solve all my problems. Maybe one day. Good luck to others who might try, I would love to hear how you went on. Blessings to all of you who care and are willing to help others. Rene

Dear Irene, I am so sorry about this ongoing issue and current pain. As I read your post, my thought is, activated charcoal. There is hardly anything safer or more gentle. You can try 4 tablets or capsules twice daily. Take them 2 hours before or after any other medications. Please get plenty to drink, ideally with electrolytes. This helps with all sorts of pain and also helps to remove toxins from the system. I hope you find relief soon. ~Mama to Many~

Thank you mama, I have done that and will see what happens. It is great that people care enough to help each other. I am very grateful

No help for keratosis.

Here I am again after years of Keratosis,

Hey Rene. I am trying two things that I have found recently that just may do it. (Last month I tried applying sap of a spurge plant, followed up by peroxide and iodine, and it didn't do squat. :-)

Here is what probably will do it (pending actual trial):

1) circle the lesion with vaseline on a q-tip. Then dip another q-tip in 35% hydrogen peroxide (pool stores, or online), people say it's gone in a fortnight. (It's a strong corrosive, care is needed. That's why it's recommended to protect the surrounding skin with the vaseline.)

2) Smash some fresh garlic, apply and cover with a bandaid that circles/encloses the whole area. Someone here (I think) claimed that the SK "sticker" would fall off in 4-5 days. It sounds too good to be true, but what's to lose in trying it?

Will you join me in trying this out and reporting here? I know there is a solution out there, and this may be it. :-)
